"Off-hand" stropping
Many moons ago, I injured my right hand/arm and spent
quite a long time in a cast/brace, so I had to learn to do
most things with my left ("off") hand...including shaving
with a straight.
Some days, this old injury still gives me fits, and today
was one of those days. As I was stropping my razor,
with my right hand, it just wasn't working. So, I decided
to try it with my left hand.
I was gratified to discover that there is a good
"transference" of the skill to the off hand. I had to go
a bit slower, but after a few strokes I was satisfied with
the result.
In fact, I think I did a better job of it using the left
hand, as compared to what I was doing with the
buggered up right hand.
I intend to practice this "off-hand" stropping more
in the future."If you come up to it, and you just can't do it, then that's jolly well where you are."
